Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • ½ tbsp oil or water (if oil-free)
  • 1 medium (110 g) onion, chopped
  • 1 cup (150 g) carrot, chopped
  • ¾ cup (80 g) bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2-inch (5 cm) fresh ginger, minced

Spices:

  • ½ tbsp curry powder
  • ¾ tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ¾ tsp salt, or to taste
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste

Other Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (125 g) passata or tomato sauce
  • 2 cups (500 g) pumpkin puree
  • 1/2–1 cup (120–240 ml) vegetable broth
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) canned coconut milk
  • 6–8 leaves fresh kale, chopped
  • Fresh herbs to garnish (e.g., parsley, cilantro)
  • Lime juice or lemon juice to drizzle
  • Cooked rice to serve

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté onion, carrot, and bell pepper for 4-5 minutes.
  2. Stir in garlic and ginger and sauté for another minute.
  3. Add spices, passata, pumpkin puree, broth, and coconut milk. Combine well.
  4. Simmer the mixture on low heat for 5-8 minutes until veggies are tender.
  5. Add kale and simmer for 1-2 more minutes, then turn off heat.
  6. Adjust seasonings with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
  7. Serve warm with rice or naan bread.

Notes

  • Pumpkin puree: Use store-bought or homemade. If making at home, bake pumpkin slices until tender, then blend until smooth.
  • Vegetable broth: Adjust quantity based on the consistency of the pumpkin puree used.
  • Canned coconut milk: For a creamier curry, increase coconut milk and reduce vegetable broth. Use dairy-free cream as an alternative.
